Every figure on this site is an estimate from Triangle averages with its assumptions published. Your real number comes from a site visit.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco
If your Triangle home was built between the 1950s and the early 1980s, there is a real chance the panel is a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or a Zinsco. Both have documented histories of breakers that fail to trip.
We will tell you what you have and what the evidence actually says, without theatrics. It is a real safety issue and it is also a favourite scare tactic, and you deserve the version without the sales pressure.
